hi all;

in what year was transistor invented ? in what year did the fcc allow use of 40 meter RACES ?

Thanks for the new trivia question Gene! I have the answer to the first part of your question, however I will just give the decade and see if someone else wants to chime in. The first transistor was made in the 1940's. Can someone narrow this down a bit and even include the names of the individuals who accomplished this amazing discovery?

OK since no one will do this, I will finish the first part. In 1947, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, working at Bell Telephone Laboratories discovered the transistor.

So anyone know the answer to the second part of the question???? Come on now folks lets hear from you...
